51st Annual Conference

Most of us will have taken at least one, if not several, management classes in the course of our studies to become information professionals but have subsequently found that those classes are woefully inadequate to prepare us for the real-world experience of leading teams and performing the duties required of us as managers. As information professionals we are called upon to manage in a range of situations with varying levels of complexity, whether it's managing large or small teams, a single individual, or managing up your institutional hierarchy, understanding the challenges, as well as dispelling myths about leadership and management, will encourage individuals to take up leadership roles and ensure that they feel confident in their abilities.
